In a typical real estate transaction, the seller pays the agent 5-6% of the total sale. The selling agent then splits this commission with the buyers agent, who keeps his 3% not so with a flat fee real estate brokerage firm. Why does the real estate agent make more money because a property is more expensive It just does not seem fair. This is why flat fee real estate brokerage firms like CondoDomain.com are dramatically changing the way traditional real estate is handled.
As a flat fee real estate brokerage, CondoDomain …

When you are looking to purchase real estate in Boston, one of the first decisions you must make is which real estate firm to work with. Your choices include a plethora of generalist real estate firms, but you might instead consider working with an exclusive buyers brokerage in the Boston marketplace.
There are several advantages to working with an exclusive buyers brokerage. Because they do not carry their own sales listings, exclusive buyers brokerage firms are unbiased when it comes to matching your needs to listed properties. If a generalist agent …
